Make sure the installation process is completed and there is 
power to the product.

STEP 1: TEST PUMP OFF

When the actuator rod is in the down position (deactivated), the 
pump should be off.

STEP 2: TEST PUMP ON

When the actuator rod is in the up position (activated), the pump 
should be on.

STEP 3: PUMPING RANGE

After testing is complete, the pumping range can be adjusted 
by moving the rubber grommet up or down the actuator rod to 
achieve the desired pump differential.

WARNING:

 If making any adjustments to the VertiMAC™ pump switch after 

testing has been completed, make sure to disconnect all power sources before 
servicing the product.

BARE LEAD MODELS

 1) Connect bare lead wires from the VertiMAC™ pump switch  

   power cable to terminal inputs in a junction box as shown in  

   the diagram.

WARNING:

 In 240VAC installations, one side of the line going to the load is 

always HOT. This condition exists if the switch is on or off. Install double pole 

disconnect on all 240VAC circuits.

Make sure the installation process is completed and there are 

no cables or wires to interfere with the operation of the float.
